The multimedia website Toodou that I co-founded is developing extremely well. The traffic is skyrocketing, and there is lots of positive buzz on the Chinese internet about it (and all positive!). The most popular film was downloaded over 80,000 times already, of which 15,000 times yesterday. I knew the site would be a succes, that[base ']s why we started it, but I did not realize it would be such a success so quickly. Everyone in our team is working day and night to keep up with all the new material that users upload (thanks guys & girls!). We just added two more servers to make sure that too much traffic does not block access to our site.

Gary, the other founder, has developed a new, revolutionary tool with the working name [OE]Lotus Boy[base '] that will be announced on June 15. The implementation of this idea will probably make the site an even bigger success. I cannot say much about it now, but it[base ']s based on an evolution of the tag idea (that we already implemented). We are currently getting a worldwide patent on it. Wait for the press release next month!
